The 'Go the Fuck to Sleep' meme is based on the 2011 satirical children's book by Adam Mansbach, which became an overnight viral sensation for its relatable portrayal of parental exhaustion. The meme truly took off after Samuel L. Jackson provided a legendary narration of the audiobook, turning the title into a cultural catchphrase. It is widely used across social media to express frustration with insomnia, annoying internet commenters, or anyone who simply won't stop talking when they should be resting. The template captures that specific blend of desperation and profanity that comes with sleep deprivation.
